Château de Kinugasa

The Kinugasa Castle holds a strategic position atop Mount Kinugasa, with stone foundations and wooden structures following traditional Japanese architecture patterns.

Built during the feudal period, this defensive structure played a role in territorial control until its partial destruction in the late Meiji period.

The castle grounds integrate elements of Japanese military engineering with regional architectural styles that influenced fortress design across the country.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins through marked hiking trails, with informational panels explaining the layout of former buildings and fortifications.

The remaining stone walls display construction techniques specific to Japanese castles, incorporating fitted stones without mortar in their assembly.
